as far as i can tell, the appropriate rfc regarding uri syntax is actually

  rfc2396

  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt

and i am coding a replacement for CGI.escape based on that rfc unless someone
knows of a more recent doc.

also, someone reccomended

  URI.escape

but i'm not sure which package it's from.  i think what was meant was

  http://arika.org/ruby/uri.xhtml

but am also unsure.  any info appreciated.
